How to get a Trigger to fire every 24 hours?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if you could help me. I'm working on setting triggers that play a boatswain's whistle for each change of the watch, meal and movie calls, sunset-rig for red, etc.

It's a nice way to see the time to pass on long missions and the schedule is from a real Australian submarine (from the late 60s).

I've got the full first day done - but the triggers don't refire on Day Two...

Here's my Trigger Setup (the mission starts at 1200, but here's an example of the 1400 (2pm) trigger))

Page 1
Event Trigger
Automatic
Can Refire
24:00

Page 2
Start - 00:00:00
Finish - 00:00:00
Duration - 02:00:00 (2 hours until the Trigger first fires)

No scripts...

Thanks guys - hope you can help,
Stew

Start - 00:02:00 <- start 2 hours after mission beginning
Finish - 99:00:00 <- maximum amount of days = 99
Duration - 00:00:00 <- you no need this value
